My online journal sharing interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
I chose nature photography as a way of capturing and sharing the beauty, power, and fragility of wild places and the life that inhabits them, so that those who have become mired in the man-made chaos may open their eyes to the real world.

Since I was early to meet a friend at a local coffeehouse called the Wild Boar, I took a walk across the street to the CSU Experimental Gardens. Look what I found! 🙂

“All things share the same breath—the animal, the tree, the man– they all share spirit with all of life.”

Took my camera for a walk yesterday. All images taken with the Fujifilm 35mm f2.0 lens and handheld. Both images are 100%, or greater, crops.
“Every human being needs a contemplative practice, perhaps gazing at nature in wonder, with a camera or paint brush, taking time.”
Thomas Moore
I spent a bit of time at the CSU Experimental Garden this past Sunday. What a beautiful place to be and take in all the gifts of nature.
